Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is there a BASH script allowing me to grep specifics from /var/log/messages? Post 302994563 by vgplayer54 on Friday 24th of March 2017 12:50:08 PM

Wrench Is there a BASH script allowing me to grep specifics from /var/log/messages?
I am wondering if there is a script (if one exists, not confident in my own scripting ability) that is able to bring up specified information from the /var/log/messages. I need to show logged traffic on specific dates and times and protocols (ie. Show all insecure FTP traffic (most likely via port number) on October 23 between 12:30pm and 12:35pm). Is there a script that can do this? No matter what I try, mine aren't working too well

wondershaper

WONDERSHAPER(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   WONDERSHAPER(8)

NAME

       wondershaper - simple traffic shaping script

SYNOPSIS

       wondershaper [interface]
       wondershaper clear [interface]
       wondershaper [interface] [downlink] [uplink]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the wondershaper script.  This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
       script does not have a manual page.

       wondershaper is a traffic shaping script that provides low latency, prioritizes bulk transfers below normal web traffic, prioritizes inter-
       active  shells  above normal web traffic, and attempts to prevent upload and download traffic from affecting each other's ack packets.  Put
       simply, the wondershaper makes your internet connection more "responsive"

SYNTAX

       A summary of wondershaper syntax is included below.  For a complete description, see the files in /usr/share/doc/wondershaper.

       wondershaper [ interface ]
	      Shows the status of traffic shaping on that interface.

       wondershaper clear [ interface ]
	      Removes all traffic shaping from that interface.

       wondershaper [ interface ] [ downlink ] [ uplink ]
	      Configures the wondershaper on the specified interface, given the specified downlink speed in kilobits per second, and the specified
	      uplink speed in kilobits per second.

SEE ALSO

       The programs are documented fully by:

       /usr/share/doc/wondershaper/README.Debian.gz

       /usr/share/doc/wondershaper/README.gz
